HC Deb 22 May 1950 vol 475 c1654
77. Mr. Keeling

asked the Minister of Supply what stage has been reached in the development of a bomber to supersede the Canberra.

Mr. G. R. Strauss

Other jet bombers are under development and satisfactory progress is being made, but it would not be in the public interest to disclose the stage of development reached.

Mr. Keeling

Anyhow, can the Minister give an assurance that the Government intend to produce jet bombers second to none?

Mr. Strauss

Yes, Sir.
